(STATS) - It's a lot easier to call CAA Football and the Missouri Valley Football Conference the two top conferences in the FCS than it is to say which one is the best.

They're so close year to year.

The CAA and MVFC dominance especially comes into focus in January. Not only have nine of the last 10 national champs emerged from one of the two conferences - all but Eastern Washington in 2010 - but nine of the 10 finalists over the last five seasons - all but Jacksonville State in 2015 - are from them. They've also produced at least one finalist every year since the 2002 season.
